My phal is blooming but the leaves are yellowing - help please!
Default My phal is blooming but the leaves are yellowing - help please!

I received a phal in Feb and have managed to get another bloom (yeah!!). The bottom two leaves yellowed and fell off on Tuesday, which I hear may be normal, but now the next level of leaves is starting to yellow as well.

I live in in a very dry climate at high altitude (Denver) and have place pebbles at the bottom of the outer pot to act as a humidifier. I have a few nice white roots but several brown shriveled roots on the surface. (See image).

My question then: Do I trim the leaves? Trim the dead roots? Repot? This orchid was a gift and is very sentimental to me - I don't want to lose it!
